Abstract

Systems, computer-implemented methods or computer program products to facilitate mitigating quantum errors associated with one or more quantum gates. A noise modeling component can generate a sparse error model of noise associated with one or more quantum gates; employ the sparse error model; and draw samples from an inverse noise model. An insertion component can insert the samples to mitigate errors associated with the one or more quantum gates. The insertion component can reduce the noise by running circuit instances augmented with samples from the inverse noise model. The noise modeling component includes a noise shaping component that can shape the noise affecting one or more quantum gates by twirling to form a Pauli channel.
